Summer Solstice

Is the wheel turning faster these days, or is it just me? It's the Summer Solstice already!  I think I've just not been paying attention, too busy, maybe. Stopping and taking time to really look, of course it's solstice, nature's shouting it, her beauty and splendour are out abundance. A time to celebrate. Though the festival itself is a strange one, as well as celebrating natures wonders, the growing evidence of the Sun and Earth's union, we also acknowledge that the Sun has reached his zenith, his power will begin to wane and from tomorrow the days will start to shorten and our journey into darkness begins. That's no bad thing, mind, it's all part of the cycle, yeah, a cold, wet, grim part of the cycle, granted, but everything has a time and a place. And that and more are still to come. For now I'm enjoying the warmth of the sun, the smells, sounds and colours of nature revelry, and really home you are too. Solstice blessing y'all.
